I couldn’t say no. Jill and Rob got married on a picturesque summer day. Here’s a few photos. Shot for Europa Photography

http://anthonyabuhanna.com/the-gaslight-anthem-against-me-91614/#commentsSun, 12 Oct 2014 22:06:14 +0000http://anthonyabuhanna.com/?p=477Every so often, when I’m requesting concerts to photograph, I sometimes miss certain things. This was one of those times. I, originally, thought I was requesting to shoot an Against Me! headlining show at House Of Blues, but it turned out that The Gaslight Anthem was on the bill and were the headliners, with the concert being streamed via Yahoo! Screen. I got the approval for this show about three hours before it happened.

The Gaslight Anthem is easily one of my top three bands I’ve ever listened to, and getting the chance to photograph them headlining was a wish come true. So, check out my photos and watch the concert on Yahoo! Screen!

This go around was plagued with nasty weather that caused the concert to be evacuated for three hours while a thunderstorm rolled through; but that didn’t stop the music from going on. With it’s most eclectic mix yet, this iteration had something for every type of music fan.

http://anthonyabuhanna.com/boston-calling-spring-2014/#commentsThu, 29 May 2014 13:43:20 +0000http://anthonyabuhanna.com/?p=298Boston Calling is easily my favorite music festival to shoot. It’s a newer festival that is really cementing it’s foot as THE music festival to attend in New England. This spring iteration of the festival featured acts including Brand New, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, The Head & The Heart, Bastille, The Decemberists, Tegan & Sara, Bastille, Death Cab For Cutie, Modest Mouse, and Jack Johnson among others.

I am definitely not a writer, but please enjoy my photos from the weekend.

http://anthonyabuhanna.com/whats-in-my-bags/#commentsThu, 29 May 2014 13:33:12 +0000http://anthonyabuhanna.com/?p=273What’s in my bags? It’s a post all photographers seem to make on their blogs and I figured I might as well, too. Maybe you’ve noticed I titled this bags and not bag, maybe you didn’t – but I’m sure you did now. I say bags because my full kit for photo takes up two bags (well, one bag and a hard case), and my full kit for video & photo takes up three bags (two and a hard case). So, I thought I’d do a write-up on everything.

The Think Tank Retrospective 20 is my go-to camera bag for all my photography needs and even my go-to day-bag for every day use. When I was looking for camera bags, I was looking for lightweight and discrete. The Retrospective 20 hits in both of those categories. It doesn’t look that bad either, especially after it’s aged from a few years of use. This bag is deep, it’s made to hold a 70-200 f/2.8 with body attached vertically. A photographer can store a lot of gear in this bag if they really want to, however it does get a little shoulder heavy and causes back stress after long shooting days. This issue, however, is expected when using shoulder bags. It should not outweigh your decision in going with this bag though – it’s fantastic. As I mentioned, I use it as a day-bag for school carrying my iPad, a water bottle, and winter attire such as gloves and a scarf. It definitely works great for these uses and I’d strongly recommend this bag to anyone.

What’s In This Bag?

I, currently, have a three lens kit that I carry around. I shoot with a Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM, Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM, and a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8. I occasionally bounce between primes and zooms, but I much prefer shooting with prime lenses for their ultra-wide apertures.

I also always walk around with a Hoya 77mm 4 Stop ND Filter, and a Promaster 58mm VariND Filter for use on my 50mm and 85mm lenses. There’s also my AlienBees Cyber Syncs in a small pouch, Canon 430 EX II Speedlight, an extra battery, CF cards, pens, a notebook, business cards, headphones, a Sony Bloggie Cam, an iPad, and sunglasses.

The other of my bag kit is an Adorama Flashpoint 1550 hard case. It’s a Pelican knock-off, at 1/3rd the price of the Pelican case. I have yet to find differences between the two cases. It’s super heavy duty and the locks are firm. I’ve dropped it a few times and nothing has gotten damaged. This is the simplest bag, since it serves one purpose – transport my lights.

It’s an incredibly tight fit, but it works. I can fit my two AlienBees B800 strobes in here with reflectors and power cords.

http://anthonyabuhanna.com/cassie-boston-bruins-fashion/#commentsTue, 08 Apr 2014 16:44:48 +0000http://anthonyabuhanna.com/?p=279I’m a massive Boston Bruins fan. Hockey is something I started liking only once I moved to Boston and I was instantly hooked on it. I had been looking for a way to combine my passion for photography with my love of hockey, and luckily a school assignment gave me just the excuse to do just that. I wanted to go all out and produce better work than I’ve ever produced, so I called up a make-up artist, Style By Jake, and a hair stylist and they came in to help bring this concept to life.

http://anthonyabuhanna.com/liz-wood-ctca-singer-songwriter/#commentsFri, 21 Feb 2014 23:47:30 +0000http://anthonyabuhanna.com/?p=265I’ve known Liz for, maybe, six years now. I was first introduced to her when I was photographing the local Connecticut band scene and happened to cover a show that her former band was playing at. Sadly, before I got into fashion work, she moved to California. We had been trying to link up and shoot together for a couple of years now to no avail, with scheduling conflicts each time we were both in the same state.

Somehow, by some strange chance, we both ended up in Connecticut at the same time and managed to get together to shoot. It was a pretty impromptu shoot, she grabbed a bunch of outfit changes and we headed out to Hammonasett State Park to make some art in thirty degree weather. Needless to say, Liz rocked it, even though it was freezing out.

Here’s a few photos, and be sure to check her music out at Liz Wood Music.

http://anthonyabuhanna.com/braving-the-elements/#commentsTue, 28 Jan 2014 14:15:12 +0000http://anthonyabuhanna.com/?p=254The thing about shooting environmental fashion and portraiture – you can’t control the environment. And that’s just what happened on a winter fashion shoot with Jaclyn. We had been planning to shoot together for quite some time, and made it happen back in December. Mother nature wasn’t on our side, however, and decided to be as cruel to us as she possibly could.

With a high temperature of about fourteen degrees and frigid winds, which almost destroyed my lighting equipment, the elements tried to best us. Sure, the day ended with sitting in the car with the heat blasting at nine-hundred percent, but it was worth it. The images we managed to create looked great, and even though we lost feeling in our hands, we both stuck through it for two hours of shooting.

Here’s some images!

The group proves, yet again, why they’re one of the best live bands in the scene – with stunning visual effects, tunes that keep you on your feet all night long, and even a little bit of Legend Of Zelda thrown in the mix.
